Tim Whole Body Suite

MAGNETOM Symphony, A TimSystem features a uniquetelescopic patient table whichenables a full Field-of-View ofup to 200 cm, without increas-ing total system length. Noadditional table extension isrequired.

The table top has standardlength. For Whole-Body examsthe table simply travels furtherout at the rear side of the mag-net. Table movement to its fullextent can be controlled fromthe operator console.

The large FoV helps in imagingmetastases with sequences suchas TIRM (Turbo InversionRecovery). Whole-Body MRAngiography is possible on theentire volume with iPAT.

Max. scan range of 200 cm
